The profile of this lot is interesting, Bourbon-like in it's format. Dark fruit \u0026amp; dried berries solidify the cup with a mild-medium sweetness. We bought this lot with espresso in mind. It's also comforting as a filter brew. Terrazas del Pisque has been an absolute pleasure to work with this year.

The farm consists of 39 hectares of land, with 17 of those hectares dedicated to growing coffee. It sits at an elevation of 2,080 meters \u0026amp; has around 10,000 coffee trees in production, including: Red \u0026amp; Yellow Caturra, Pacamara, Las Tolas, Bourbon, Java and Sidra.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-88372d7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"88372d7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSebastian picks the ripest of cherries for the Washed lots, floats them to remove over\/under-ripes and then washes them with clean water. After rinsing, the coffee is de-pulped and left to ferment in tanks for 48 hours. The coffee is then dried in African beds for 15-18 days, depending on the weather. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b109508 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b109508\" data-element_type=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a60be3e\" data-id=\"a60be3e\" data-element_type=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-147f3d7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"147f3d7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith a unique approach to coffee growing in Ecuador, Terrazas del Pisque has established itself as an incubator of elusive and exotic coffee varieties. Their regenerative agriculture, a focus on “leaving nature to do its job” and a full stop on chemical inputs, have greatly benefitted consistency and flavor crafting. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn that sense, you can tell the amazing job Sebastian Garcés and Arnaud Causse do, achieving a sustainable ecosystem along the equator line. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSome of the strategies they have implemented at farm level are chickens to help combat larvae, Pelibuey sheep that help graze and fertilize (but also avoid eating the coffee cherries), and pollinating bees.
